Lucky Charms

Part 4

After Sami had come home from the flower shop she had slept for a little while. Her headache had abated somewhat, but she still didn't get up from her bed, opting to lie in her comfy bed instead of facing things. She realized the headache she had gotten was her own fault, the result of working herself into a nervous exhaustion from (a) trying to fake having a migraine in the first place, (b) letting her fears of intimacy get in the way because of Chloe's mention of sending EJ a goody basket which hadn't even materialized due to Chloe trying to aggravated her about having sex, and (c) worrying about what her family would think about her dating EJ DiMera.

She had no clue about what time it was since the shades were drawn in her bedroom and she had left her phone in her pocketbook in the living room after leaving EJ a voicemail telling him she wasn't feeling well. She hated she was taking the coward's way out with EJ, but damn it she was scared that he would think she was weird if she hadn't ever had sex before seeing as how she was already twenty-four years old.

In a way she was kind of glad she had gotten his voicemail instead of speaking directly to him because if she had heard his voice her resolve to skip the Brady St. Patrick's Day celebration at the pub might have completely disappeared into thin air. She honestly didn't know what to do about these growing feelings she had for EJ, but maybe by deciding to break things off with him would be best in the long run.

Even if Chloe had told her orgasms with a real live person were all kinds of awesome. Surely Chloe was exaggerating; she was known to do that from time to time. Although Sami would kind of like to be the one screaming don't stop or I'm cumming for a change instead of hearing such things from none other than her crazy roommate who was currently bedding her brother Brady.

While she hadn't told EJ she wanted to end things with him on the phone, she knew she would soon if she kept having these anxiety attacks. There would be no way to avoid him since he only lived a few doors down from she and Chloe and ever since Valentine's day she had seen him in some kind of capacity whether it was an actual date or even something as simple as taking a walk together in the park.

She tried to dispel the images of EJ that kept flitting through her mind, but it was difficult. In such a short amount of time he had become so important to her and she knew it would take an enormous amount of willpower to stay away from him.

She could hear some noise outside her bedroom door. She guessed Chloe had come home to get ready for the party, the party she wasn't going to attend even though she knew her family was going to give her hell for it when the realized she had bailed on them. Right now she was channeling her inner Scarlett deeming to think about their dismay for another day instead of today.

The door to her bedroom was opening so she rolled over onto her stomach and buried her head in her pillow. Her best friend could be very persuasive when she wanted to be and she had no doubt Chloe was going to try to change her mind about going to the party. But quite frankly she was still kind of irked at her best friend for lying about sending a basket to EJ filled with god only knew what kind of adult toys her friend would toss in such a basket.

Hell she didn't have a clue about how most of those things worked anyway.

"Chloe before you even begin to lecture me, I'm not going to the party. I've already told you why I didn't want to go."

"But you haven't told me the real reason why you don't want to go tonight."

The voice responding to her sure wasn't Chloe, it was EJ instead.

No it couldn't be, it wasn't EJ. Damn her conscience must really be bothering her more than the previously thought it would.

She didn't answer, just continued to keep her head face down on her pillow. Since she had been thinking of EJ ever since she had awakened she might even be dreaming.

Then she felt the someone sit on her bed and touch her on her shoulder, carefully nudging her to turn over.

She reluctantly rolled over and sure enough it was EJ, he was in her bedroom with her for the first time ever.

How in the hell had he gained access to her apartment?

"Chloe gave me her key," EJ simply stated seeing the confusion on Sami's face when she saw him.

Damn she hadn't even had to ask him about his sudden appearance. Could he read her thoughts too? Surely not though because even if she hadn't had sex before she was beginning to have some pretty vivid scenarios playing in her mind with EJ's arrival in her bedroom.

Sami was about to push up to a sitting position because seeing EJ looking down at her with such concern was making her heart do those fluttery flips it had begun doing lately whenever he was around her. She quickly deduced it was too late to order him away from her.

What was she going to do? It hit her hard; she was already in love with EJ DiMera.

"EJ I called you earlier," Sami began hoping he would take the hint and go away instead of her having to tell him he needed to leave.

EJ swept some of her hair away from her face so he could see her better. "You left a very cryptic voice message on my phone, but it doesn't explain this sudden turnaround in your attitude towards me."

"I don't want to go tonight; in fact I think it would be best if we stopped seeing each ot…"

Before she could finish that thought EJ fisted his fingers in her hair and then kissed her. At first the kiss was a sweet one, a barely there brush of his lips upon hers. When she began to relax into the kiss everything changed, EJ plunged his tongue into her mouth, kissing her hungrily.

EJ pulled back and felt a surge of satisfaction at the sight of her hard nipples which were clearly evident due to the thin tank top she was wearing without a bra on underneath. Add in the fact that the only other item of clothing she was wearing were boy shorts and he was so hard all he could think about was divesting her of these skimpy articles of clothing and taking her right then and there on the spot.

But even though they hadn't ever openly discussed it he knew Samantha didn't have much experience sexually. Sure she had told him she had only had two boyfriends before and neither one of them had fallen into the serious category for her which he had quickly realized Samantha wasn't a casual sex kind of girl. While they had made out pretty heavily she had always pulled back before they were at the point of no return with one another.

He guessed she realized her state of almost undress because when they had broke off the kiss she hastily sat up and crossed her arms in front of her, suddenly self conscious.

"EJ, maybe I need to get dressed," she began hesitantly.

"Or maybe I need to get undressed," he replied as he stood up from the bed. Her eyes were riveted on him as he shoved off his shoes without bending down, next came the polo shirt he pulled over his head and finally he shucked off his jeans, but he kept on his boxers and climbed back into bed with her.

"EJ, what are you doing?"

He placed a hand on her hip, which caused her to glance down noting all he had to do was push down her boy shorts and she'd be revealed to him and suddenly that thought wasn't such a disturbing one since she had instantly felt herself growing wet as soon as he had begun taking off his clothes.

"Leveling the playing ground," was his reply as he tipped her face back up where he could look into his eyes, ones that were smoldering with passion.

"EJ, I don't know how to say this, but I haven't ever…" She paused unsure of what she wanted to say.

Really how did one go about revealing she was a twenty-four year old virgin?

"Sweetheart, just tell me what's on your mind."

Sami raised a hand and swept it over his body even though she didn't touch him. "I mean, I haven't ever played on this kind of playground before."

"Never ever or do you mean just with me?"

"Never ever," she admitted feeling a slight blush begin to color her features.

Understanding dawned on EJ; his sweet girl was a virgin. This was better than he had even hoped for because if he had his way about it he would be the only man Samantha would ever know intimately.

"Do you want me to show you how to play?"

Sami nodded her head. "It doesn't bother you that I'm a, I'm a…"

EJ smiled, "A virgin?"

"Yeah that," Sami answered. "You don't think I'm a freak for not ever having sex before?"

"Let me show you how amazing I think it is that I'll be your first." EJ leaned over to kiss her, but not before adding, "I want to be the only one to ever touch you the way I'm about to touch you."

Sami scrunched her face, "So you think I won't like it, that after we do it I won't want to do it again?"

EJ chuckled, "No, I'm going to make you cum so hard that you'd never even dream about wanting to be with anyone else besides me. Darling, I want to be your first, your last and everything else in between. Remember I dared you to love me?"

"I remember," Sami recalled the words he had asked her to inscribe on the card right before he had given her the beautiful bouquet of tiger lilies on Valentine's Day, the day she had thought he was buying the flowers for Nicole instead of her.

"You might think it is sudden, but I want you to know I love you Samantha. I fell in love with you on first sight and one day I want you to be my wife."

"You do? You want me to be your wife?"

"I'd marry you tomorrow if you'd let me. Sweetheart I'd marry you today if you would say yes. But I don't want to rush you. I don't want you to do anything you don't want to do. We don't have to have sex until you are ready, but I can promise you will enjoy it."

Tears glistened in her eyes, "Guess what?"

"What?" EJ took his thumb to brush away an errant tear that was beginning to trail down her cheek.

"Your dare worked. I love you too EJ."

EJ smiled even brighter than before and closed the distance between them with a kiss. Sami returned his kiss with eagerness all the while thinking this day was turning out far better than she had ever expected since she had thought if EJ ever found out she was a virgin it would repel him. Instead this turned out to be something he seemed happy about learning this particular bit of news from her. Somehow being with EJ always made every day she spent time with him a better day.

If he kept kissing her the way he was right now, she was pretty sure her nights were going to become a lot more fun too.
